Anais Mitchell is taking a four-town tour of Vermont next month, and the homegrown folksinger will be celebrating homegrown food in the process.

The Grammy-nominated performer will tour with Michael Chorney, the Vermont guitarist and collaborator on Mitchell’s “Hadestown” folk opera, in what the tour’s promoter, Higher Ground, is calling the “Vermont Barnstorming Tour.” Mitchell, who grew up on a farm in Addison County, and Chorney will perform in barns in four communities, and the concerts will also feature specially prepared farm-to-table dinners.

Concert tickets, which go on sale at noon Friday, are $20 in advance and $22 day of show. Dinners are $20 except for the Sept. 27 event in Bristol, which is $25 for adults and $10 for children 10 and under. Children 5 and under can eat for $5 at the Sept. 29 event in Craftsbury.
